Default Re: Endgame Diversity Mod - Lategame summons, released at last!

I absolutely agree that only by real test in MP can we make a true conclusion on those summons, especially creatures like shishi or zmey——creature that can tear down fully equiped thugs alone with their nature weapon are pretty unfamiliar to all of us, thus a quick judgement usually proven wrong.

But cyclops and asynja are another case: They are classic SC template with full slot, just comparing them with other SC, either general summons like elemental royalty or national summons like angels, and a pre-conclusion can be made without too much error.

After all, this mod is to provide an alterate to tarts, not to replace all other summons.

For the record, I still don't think it matters if a cyclops is just *better* than a troll king. They are used for very different things, and the troll soldiers *can* be very useful. Especially as soul vortex batteries :P Further, tarts have ridiculous magic paths and can already easily beat troll kings as earth mages.

I tested them again, and my conclusion is:
Grendelkin are worthless.
Yes, worthless. A waste of gems.
For hardly more gems, I can get a sea troll king with his retinue. He's able to pack some punch underwater. Grendelkin underwater suck. Why do they cost that many WATER gems then?
They're a waste of gems. I'd rather use water gems to summon stuff that can be used underwater.
Either give them amphibious or make them require anything but water gems to summon.
Right now I have found in my MP game 2 units to be better than grendelkin: Bane lords (yes, seriously) and sea troll kings.
